004.10 NOTICING PRACTICE

A great way to become a better noticer is to have something to practice noticing with every where you go. This builds our muscle of remembering to notice the world around us.

NOTICING PRACTICE

Preparation

This is a solo or group activity.

This activity is done while you do other things.

You'll need your phone or a camera.

Instructions

Pick a shape (e.g., a heart, a star) or color (e.g., the color yellow, fall colors, gradients) or an object (e.g., feathers, the sky, the number 42).

Take a photo when you see it.

Extend

Invite others to notice the same shape and text photos of it to each other.

After a while, switch to only taking photos of exceptional discoveries.

Consider

How does it feel to find your shape/color/object?

How easy is it to remember to notice?

When do you tend to forget to notice?

What does finding the object mean to you?
